FreeFileSync Forum

Problem can be solved if you set/use sFTP not FTP for bigger files.

I seem to remember a thread in this forum on a similar or the same topic (but failed to find it). If I remember correctly, FFS only deletes files (if necessary for the sync), but d…

> All this thread has taught me so far is this forum is not the place to get help. And all this thread has taught me is that you apparently expect or hope people will spend time an…

Well yeah... Like I just said, Mac OS doesn't have a way to access NTFS volumes and the data on them. Paragon's APFS and HFS+ for Windows programs are good

My bad, I thought that I understood your post, and I did not! I went on the machine hosting the network share as explained, and set up the "m1" user account that is in use on both …

Ah yes, FUSE issues. The main topic of my Operating Systems class that still never makes sense LOL

[Quote] I'm on version 13.7. FWIW, after the sync phase of the FFS run that showed the conflict with the folder, I ran FFS again, and after the Compare phase, there was no conflict…

If all you did was cancel and then start again, FFS just picks up where it left off. Canceling a sync doesn't undo anything already processed, it just doesn't continue with the rem…

The FreeFileSync app crashes/closes instantly when I click the X close button or the Close button in the window. The following appears in terminal when I launch freefilesync via te…

Everything credit card-related is handled by Stripe: [Quote]

Figured it out... I was wrong, it was not something that changed on FreeFileSync side... it's msft defender that changed how it works - previously, it would only flag a file on acc…

Hi Zenju, Well on my testing devices (macOS Sonoma 14, macOS BigSur 11), see post of 5-jul, I don't have anti-virus running. For what I could peak in the available source-code ([UR…

<Resolved> That did it. We are back "on the air". Thanks for the assistance!

Just installed Donation edition 13.1 It tells me 13.7 is available. Cannot figurte out how to get auto-update working Advice appreciated Jeff

On both my Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, all fully updated and running FFS 13.7, logs are deleted according to the setting specified. This clearly seems like an issue with y…

Thank you for the speedy reply.

This is correct behavior based on what your picture shows. The sizes are different, so FFS knows there is a mismatch. It looks like the timestamps are the same, so FFS can't know w…

[Quote] You can't synchronize without comparing first. If you click the synchronize button, it automatically runs a compare first, if one hasn't been performed already. This seems …

Thank you, I'll try that today, I'll create some changes first so that sync won't complete right away.

1. Agree 2. Agree 3. I feel like the inclusion of any .ffs_gui should cause it to start in GUI mode Seems intuitive for all three options. You could also add flags, --gui and --nog…

Interesting... I wonder if it relates to file-streaming. You mentioned you use the Google Drive app for Windows, have you tried with the native GDrive integration in FFS instead?

This is almost certainly a path/location issue

Or why not just mirror-sync D:\Development\RootFolder\FolderA\bin\Debug\ to D:\Nuget-Local-Cache\

The problem persists. Hovever, I managed to send a donation by sending it to your donation email address directly from PayPal without using the donate button on freefilesync.org

Open the GUI of RealTimeSync (RTS), and then open the faulty saved RTS configuration (*.ffs_real). In the Command Line field of the GUI, you can then change the path to the specifi…

gvfs-fuse is an app related to a file system called fuse and it's likely that if that app was missing it was the cause of your problem. For example some applications are written fo…

Thanks for the answers. I can confirm that this is not a problem with FFS. I plugged the drive in my Windows PC and the creation dates appeared fine. Maybe a display bug with FUSE …

[URL] You can change deletions to be permanent instead

Your intention and opinion are perfectly clear. But that does not change the fact that FFS does exactly what is written in the manual:[Quote] So, any files and folders that do not …

Tried "resetting"; eventually I was able to delete it from S: (which is just a mapping to physical drive E:). And then when I run the sync, I get the same error, despite the fact t…

[Quote] Thank you!! You're absolutely right & now everything works.

[Quote] Looks like some spammer using AI!?

It was solved by the answer here: [URL]

I'll only add that it is odd, that looking at the UI, you would expect to be able to set any or all of the 3 conditions (& that they be retained, of course). [Code] (Like how the N…

@frozn1991 You asked exactly the question I wanted to ask, and for exactly the reason you did. The answer is simple. Instead of creating a batch process, create a normal one. Then …

You can try selecting a different currency like USD or EUR, and PayPal will convert it automatically.

I emailed Zenju who, fortunately, stepped in and manually removed the old 'device' - so all is working now. Thanks, Zenju & Plerry!

I do not generate any syntax manually, the error message is built, I believe, from the settings of my FFS configuration

Hi Plerry, I'm already using some email rules to this effect; I was hoping that I could simplify the process from Freefilesync, but it works as is so that's fine. Thanks for the qu…

I have server drives mounted using NFS and when doing a compare with a local USB drive, FFS does not see new files added to the NFS share. As a result the new files do not get sync…

Works, thank you for the hint Zenju.

I had the same issue, it seems to simply be copying approximately 1 file per second, so for my backup script I ended up first copying the files I want to a dedicated folder using F…

[Quote] Having bought the Business Edition recently I would hope such proposals to improve FFS could be at least considered by the authors. Anyway, going the open source path is an…

Problem solved. Thanks.

Yes

Try: *\.* . matches a literal dot * matches zero or more characters So things like .out .metadata-v2 .startup-incomplete .padding .usage should all be excluded. (And I take it that…

While it may be true that a synchronous I/O call "must" wait for the result before execution on that thread continues. It appears the I/O operation is happening on the foreground, …

Problem solved, because my locale LANG was zh_CN.UTF-8. Changed it to en_US.UTF-8 solved my problem.

Thanks for your explanation, I understand it now
